Sam has been exploring in these hills since day 1 of <span class=SpellE>BikeVillage</span> and has a massive number of 2-day trips he can custom tailor to groups of riders.

There's a smidge more <span class=SpellE>fireroad</span> than we usually plan but it's a tiny price to pay for such a genuinely back country experience.
